While young boys Evin and Jorick are out playing in the forest, they return to their village in ruins and the entire community kidnapped by ferocious creatures called gnolls. With the help of a young wizard and her guidebook A Practical Guide to Monsters, the trio venture into the lair of monsters to rescue the boys’ families. But when Evin is met with a shocking event, he begins to realize that nothing is what it seems. He has memories that seem to be missing.

As the trio of adventurers proceed in their search, they encounter incredible danger and seemingly insurmountable odds. And a shocking twist of an ending culminates to a fantastic showdown. With non-stop action and adventure, unique monsters, and a bit of magic, this is an exciting story for young and old alike.
